Chapter 3
One year later: September 1, 1971
Harry and Severus got up that morning hoping they wouldn't get beat and they didn't. They ate breakfast and then their Mum took them to platform 9 ¾'s and they got on the train. Harry and Severus were now in the train sitting together minding their own business until a dark haired boy came up to them. "Hello." The dark haired boy said. Harry of course didn't know know the boy, but in the back of his mind he felt as if he knew him.
"Hi, what is your name?" Harry asked.
"James Potter and this is my friend Sirius Black." James answered.
"Nice to meet you James and Sirius, I'm Harry Snape and this is my brother Severus Snape." Harry told James.
"Nice to meet you Harry and Severus." James said. Severus was just content on reading his book and didn't want to interact with anyone unless he had to.
"Sev, come on put that book down and talk." Harry told his brother.
"Fine, but I really don't want to talk to anyone." Severus answered.
"Don't make me tickle you." Harry said.
"You wouldn't dare." Severus said.
"Try me." Harry said reaching out to tickle his brother.
"Alright, I surrender! Just don't tickle me!" Severus said.
"Ok, little brother. Now come and talk." Harry told his brother.
"Alright, James what is your blood status?" Severus asked James.
"Why do you want know?" James asked.
"Well, Mum talks about blood status's sometimes and they always interested me that people classify other people based on how pure their blood is." Severus answered.
"I am a pureblood and so is Sirius."James answered.
"Then don't think badly of my brother and I, We are Half-bloods." Severus said.
"Don't worry, we aren't like our parents and hello Lucius." James said when he saw the blond boy who looked about fifteen.
"Hello James, who are the two dark haired boys you are talking to?" Lucius asked.
"They are Harry and Severus Snape." James answered.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Lucius Malfoy." Lucius said. Harry and Severus shook his hand and before they could say anymore, the train stopped and they had to get off. "Bye, see you after the sorting." Lucius said to his new friends. The friends went their separate ways, well Lucius went with the fifth years and James, Severus, and Harry went with the first years along with Lily who was also with them. they chatted the whole way about random things until the gamekeeper had to tell them to be quiet because they were getting louder by every second. When they got to the castle they went into the Great Hall and would get sorted into on of the four houses: Slytherin, Griffindor, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff. James, Sirius and Lily got Sorted into Griffindor, along with a boy named Remus Lupin and a boy named Peter Pettigrew. Harry and Severus got sorted into Slytherin. The two boys sat down next to Lucius, who was waving at them. "Hi, glad you got sorted into Slytherin?" Lucius asked.
"Yeah, this house mostly teaches Pure-bloods but I guess we are an exception." Harry answered
"Yeah, but we are glad to have you." Lucius said happily. The three friends ate dinner and then retired to their beds in their dorms and fell asleep, ready to start the next day.
The next morning
Severus woke that morning ready to start the day and quickly got dressed and then went to wake Harry up, but he wasn't there. "Harry, where are you?" Severus said loudly. Still no Harry. Harry!" Severus yelled, careful not to wake other students. Harry still didn't respond. "Harry! Come out! This is not funny!" Severus yelled frantic and on the verge of tears.
"Yeah, what do you need Severus?" Harry asked.
"Harry! Where were you?" Severus asked.
"In the shower, didn't you hear it running?" Harry answered "and why are you crying?"
"I thought you were missing and I got scared. To answer your question, no I didn't hear the shower running. Severus said "Sorry I acted without thinking."
"It's alright, just don't do that again. You almost woke the entire Slytherin house. You woke Lucius though." Harry told his brother. "Let's go down and eat some breakfast." the two boys walked to the Great Hall ignoring some of their housemates glares, but Harry gave his best Snape glare and they backed off. "Lucius! Over here!" Harry yelled. Lucius walked over to where Severus and Harry were sitting and sat next to Harry.
"Severus what was all that noise for?" Lucius asked.
"Sorry, I couldn't find my brother and didn't realize that he was in the shower, so I panicked." Severus answered.
"So I guess you to are really close?" Lucius asked.
"Yes we are, ever since we were born and we got even closer when our dad started drinking." Harry answered.
"My dad thinks he is the king of the world sometimes and it drives me crazy." Lucius said. After the three boys finished breakfast they went to class and Severus and Harry's first class was potions.
"Welcome to potions class!" Professor Slughorn said cheerfully. At least half the class groaned because they didn't really want to be here and the other half cheered. "Don't worry this class is fun and I hope you have your textbooks." Professor Slughorn said. The students were hard at work and Slughorn called Severus and Harry forward when he examined their potion.
"Yes, Sir?" Both boys said at once.
"Nice potion, where did you learn to brew like that?" Slughorn asked.
"Um... we kinda taught ourselves with a little bit of our Mums help." Harry answered.
"Smart boys." Slughorn said. "Oh and tell your Mum that she taught you well at potions."
"Alright." both boys answered at the same time. By the end of the class they were either made fun of for being smart in potions or asked for help and by end of the day they were exhausted after doing their homework and they just went straight to bed hoping the rest of the year would be better.
